Research shows UV radiation reduces growth of toxic and nontoxic Microcystis, suggesting management strategies for harmful algal blooms.
Our data suggest that the growth of both M. aeruginosa strains, PCC 7806 and PCC 7005, is reduced under high UV radiation during algal blooms. A reduction in dense Microcystis blooms as a result of increased UV exposure could enhance light penetration in water bodies. These findings provide valuable insights for water resource management teams, enabling them to develop strategies to mitigate the public health risks associated with HABs.
